Nobody would ever explain exactly what an Alcoholic was. I thought I was just undisciplined among other things.
Sadly enough I was in AA for almost 2 years before it was explained. |
You bring up an excellent point. Unfortunately unless people in the meetings are actually reading, using, and studying the book things like the definition of the real alcoholic fall by the wayside. Many of these things are key to understanding and accepting who we are as alcoholics so we can work on the solution.
The best advice that was ever given to me in AA was when I was complaining about a problem and wanting them to give me a solution they told me "The solutions in the book, find it."
